Just bought a Wiim Pro Plus and need a headphone amp for bedroom use. Using single ended headphones. I don’t see the needs for an expensive amp. Let’s say under $300. Thinking about Schiit Magni+, Magni Heretic (what’s the difference between these two?) or Midgard. Any other better contenders from other brands at this price point? Thanks.

Can't go wrong with the Magni Heresy or Heretic, JDS Atom, or Topping L30 II.

And what about closed back headphones in the $200 range to go with the above amps? I listen to mellow jazz, classical and vocals. Not much hard rock. Thanks.

I use the Superlux HA3D. Very happy with it.
